No, TIGER lists all of the addresses, but adds a large fudge factor to comply with privacy laws. TIGER data alone is not enough to allow reconstruction of the house numbers manually from satellite data, assuming that all buildings would be visible through the tree cover. In fact on my block, the TIGER numbers are backwards from the actual order. ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

[Talk-us] OpenStreetMap use by (local) governments - examples?
All: I am trying to engage with the local government here in SLC and I'd love to provide them with some practical examples of how the use of OpenStreetMap has benefited local government. Who knows of a US / N-American example? Are there any? -- martijn van exel geospatial omnivore 1109 1st ave #2 salt lake city, ut 84103 801-550-5815 http://oegeo.wordpress.com ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
